Miami Dolphins X-Factor: Ryan Tannehill
Coming off a game against the Ravens in which he was held to 86 passing a yards with only one touchdown pass, Miami needs him to bounce back if they’re going to have any chance. Tannehill can outdo this performance in the first quarter alone. In fact, I think that’s expected against the Giants and their pass defense that ranks last in the NFL.
New York Giants X-Factor: Ruben Randle
It’s normal for a No. 2 receiver to see an improvement in numbers when an elite receiver is getting all the attention and you’d expect it when Beckham Jr. is that receiver. Randle still hasn’t been able to capitalize, as he hasn’t had a 60+ receiving game since October 25 (according to Bleacher Report).
I consider this game to be a must-win for the Giants, and Eli needs Randle as a go-to option Monday if he’ll lead the Giants to not only a win, but a NFC East crown.
